Top 23 Gluten-Free Pet-Friendly Spots to Explore in Shrewsbury

A cosy coffee shop that serves excellent loose leaf tea and amazing cakes. Seriously the carrot cake was delicious! It's a lovely place to take a break from exploring the city or shopping and has reasonable prices. Gluten free and vegan options are also available and delicious. Well worth a visit. The staff were friendly but not as welcoming as they could have been, they were pretty busy.

Hopefully Made us a favourite place for lunch or just coffee in Shrewsbury. All gluten free (which I need) and always space to sit. Dog friendly is a bonus and they use bread from GFB which is gluten free and like proper bread. Dropped a star for service as on the last couple of visits specific requests (two forks to share a dish for instance) have been forgotten or ignored. Still our top place for lunch in Shrewsbury.

Marianna welcomed us with warmth and a great knowledge of meals on offer for coeliac. She completely put me at ease knowing I was in safe hands here. We were given the house homemade lemonade as a greeting complimentary - so refreshing on an unusually hot day. Service was fast and efficient with a great flow; not rushed but not waiting too long either. Good food, cooked well - delicious! What more can you ask? Would thoroughly recommend and will definitely be returning soon with the family ❤️

Popped in for a new year's day brunch, dog and gluten free friendly. The food is locally sourced, seasonal and very tasty although I found that there were only a few vegetarian options available. I opted for the mushrooms which were fantastic. I like that they have an option of a small or large portion as I often only want a smaller meal. Overall very good, tasty food with super service.

I always have a great time at The Armoury. I know they will have lots of gluten free options and the service is brilliant. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly and the food is excellent. Can’t recommend highly enough.

food tasty though gluten free pizza has an extra charge

Very authentic place and great quality food. We ordered a platter for two, and although it's seems expensive, we struggled to finish it! The appetizers were also very good. Bacon bites, fried pickles, kids corndog and cheese pretzel were superb, but the Mac and cheese was something else! They were also very attentive to one of our guests gluten free needs, double checking the intolerance chart with us. There's so much on the menu I want to try, so we'll definitely be back!

Last night was my third dining experience with Osteria and it was truly incredible. The staff were amazing and as always, the food was delicious. Two of us had one of their pizzas and the other 2 had other dishes. They too were very happy with their selections. We also had starters and everyone loved what they chose. I had the calamari and it truly was the very best I've ever had. Two of us also had desserts. The lemon cheesecake was divine! I tell all of our customers who are visiting Shrewsbury and looking for dinner recommendations about Osteria and I tell them all it's the best pizza I've had since we returned from our honeymoon in Italy in 2016. For those with food allergens, I know how scary it can be to eat out. My husband is coeliac and we struggle to find restaurants with proper protocols to limit contamination. When I enquired about their protocols I was thrilled to learn how seriously they take food allergens and the lengths they go to limit possible contamination. I was also impressed by their menu selections for those with a gluten allergy. Most restaurants have a limited selection of gluten-free options. He has now eaten with them twice and has not experienced any of the symptoms he experiences when he has been contaminated at other restaurants. Perhaps the best praise I can give them is to say that if they ever close their doors I think all of Shrewsbury will go into mourning. Between the incredible staff, the cosy atmosphere and the authentic Italian food they serve, I can't think of any other place I would rather take friends for dinner.

Wonderful vegan dinner, so good we came back for breakfast and lunch the next day! Great for gluten free. Waitress was lovely. Friendly, great food, great location, a must if we're ever anywhere near Shrewsbury again. Highly recommended.

Jackie Griffin

Love this local cafe. Always have a gluten free cake so deserves support. Good coffee to and very reasonably priced.

Kelly Davies

Amazing place, fantastic how it’s such a safe and inclusive venue. The food is so yummy with lots of vegan and gluten free options, there’s something for everyone. My son love the games consoles, he sits with his cousin for ages happily playing giving me time to sit and chat with a delicious hot chocolate to my sister. Great place, highly recommend! Even the toilets are great, lots of free essential products and inclusive but great facilities for anyone with a disability.

El Wood

Great locoation overlooking the river. Really enjoyed our meals freshly cooked and to a high standard. Gluten free options. Service was OK but had to wait to order dessert whilst a table of 8 paid individually- by which time we decides to just ask for the bill which again took longer than expected. Main and soft drink £60 for 2 people plus tip.

Janmarie Michie

Had a really delicious vegetarian and gluten free breakfast here. Coffee was really good and service friendly and efficient.

Adam G

Stopped here for a lunch on my way home. Not really a fan of salad but the beetroot salad they do for starters on the set menu is actually quite good. They even serve gluten free bread for starters with dips and did a tasty chicken Shish for mains. Would definitely recommend to anyone who likes a good Mediterranean cuisine. Big shoutout to the friendly staff who work here too!

Robert Deeming

Best burger I've had in a long time, if not ever!!! And to top it off not only do they cater for coeliac's (gluten allergy) but the staff actually know what they are talking about and put my wife at ease with ordering her meal. 100% will be coming back and wouldn't hesitate in recommending to anyone. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ps picture is my wife's, I was too impatient to take a picture of my burger

Lucian Lazar

I would definitely recommend this to anyone that has a vegan gluten-free diet and not only, as the food is tasty, fresh and healthy.

A teeny cafe with a BIG heart! ♥️ We were on a short break in Shrewsbury and our Airbnb was not far from Darwin's. So an ideal stopping point when we were tired and thirsty! As tempted as I was to have a Pina colada milkshake, I went for the non-alcoholic version while my son had a peanut butter one. I was also able to have a delicious piece of gluten-free carrot cake. They cater for dietary requirements really well. We enjoyed it so much we made a plan on the spot to return after check-out on the Saturday morning!! A full English really set us up for a looonngg day of travelling. Despite being ever so busy - both staff were so friendly and we bought some Shrewsbury biscuits for family (including a Vegan version, wish there was a gluten-free one but I know myself how hard it is to bake with GF flours!) Great value for money and proper home cooked food with quality ingredients. We loved our visit and hope to be back soon.

We prebooked out table and the team were very welcoming. The reason we booked because on line it stated they did gluten free . When ordering food they really had no gluten free only lamb kebab. They said they had no gluten free pasta and other dishes were unavailable.

Jennifer Fearon

Years ago the foods used to be lovely but now it has changed maybe new chef. I had grilled chicken with bacon gluten free sandwich club, asked swap to feta cheese instead of melted cheddar cheese but still charged for feta cheese! Also few months ago I had vegetarian breakfast - halloumi cheese it was over cooked, avocado were bit brown , poached eggs were uncooked.

Jayne Brooks

Great all round. Quick service, breakfast served at same time so all ate together. Gluten free options available although not with deserts. Dogs welcome and treats given 😊
